In Bloom #5 + Phalaenopis Orchid

This Phalaenopis orchid was gifted to me last year in mid April and was in full bloom at the time.  Once the flowers faded away, it sat in my kitchen window all year,  I watered it once a week.  

Sometime in December or January a spike started to appear.  Soon after buds appeared on the spike and eventually it started blooming  Here it is May 3rd and it's still in full bloom. 

  




Here I am counting blooms again.  I know very little about orchids and am not familiar with how many flowers are to appear.  

This orchid has twelve buds and all but one have bloomed.  Eleven out of twelve isn't bad.


And, one more.  Even the blooms from the backside are pretty.  I hope I can keep this blooming for years to come.
